Twin Lakes is home to Lake Mary and Elizabeth Lake

The village of Twin Lakes' name derives from the two prominent bodies of water which rests at the heart of the community: Elizabeth Lake and Lake Mary. Both lakes add a sense of serenity to the area and make lakefront living an enticing facet of this region. Located in western Kenosha County, Wisconsin, Twin Lakes sits on the Wisconsin-Illinois state border and runs east of U.S. Highway 12. An added benefit of the location is that is a 90-minute commute to downtown Chicago.

Front and backyard views

Because both lakes encompass much of the community, residential pockets are located on meandering thoroughfares. Homes that sit right off the main roads are tucked away and surrounded by wooded areas. Waterfront properties offer personal access to boat launches and picturesque backyard views. The community primarily displays bungalows and cottage-inspired homes. Newly built properties have quaint details, whether a cobblestone driveway, white picket fencing or natural rocks as a gardening feature. There is a modest selection of condominiums near the town center. Residences sit on single and double lots with most having personal car garages and driveways. Prospective homebuyers can expect to pay $300,000 and up, with lakefront homes with panoramic views reaching up to $1.5 million. Plots of land are also viable buying options starting at $60,000. Many residents rely on their personal vehicles to navigate through the community.

Each lake has a great park

Although residents have both lakes nearby, there are additional outdoor areas that promote recreation and communal gathering. Millennium Park, situated near the serene Elizabeth Lake, offers a plethora of recreational delights for residents of all ages. From a vibrant play area to exhilarating sledding hills in winter, a pavilion for gatherings and walking trails for leisurely strolls. Additionally, a soccer/football field beckons sports enthusiasts, completing the park's diverse offerings.

Venturing to Lance Park, which bumps up against the picturesque shores of Lake Mary, promises a waterfront recreational area with an array of activities. Anglers can cast their lines from the fishing pier, while boating enthusiasts can launch their vessels from the convenient boat launch. A beach area invites sun-soaked relaxation, and basketball hoops add a dash of athleticism to the lakeside experience. The newly constructed waterfront amphitheater stands as a cultural hub, hosting everything from the Park Commission's Movies in the Parks Series to the thrilling performances of the Aquanuts Water Ski Show.

Dining and retail at each lake

There are restaurants and eateries at the edges of both lakes; however, most of the food spots are near Lake Mary, making it a more comprehensive dining hub. The town center is at the juncture of East Main Street and North Lake and South Lake Avenues. In addition to views of the water, residents have their choice of breakfast, lunch and dinner offerings. To start the day, residents can savor homestyle American dishes like chicken fried steak, eggs and hash browns at the Corner Kitchen Family Restaurant. Besides notable chains such as Subway and Burger King, Manny’s Snack Shack and Due Laghi Pizzeria are go-to lunch places. There are a few dinner and late-night spots that close at 2 a.m., including Main Street Tap, 1903 West Bar and Grill and the Beach Bar, all serving up pub fare, brews and cocktails. For an at-home culinary experience, Berkot’s Super Foods provides essential food items and fresh produce.

Retail shopping can be found in this area as well. Dollar General offers budget-friendly household items, while beauty salons provide personal care services. Ace Hardware and Rental, along with small businesses like KenoKicks, specializing in sneaker and clothing apparel, contribute to the local shopping scene.
